Sidenote: Butler has 3 wins on buzzer beaters and 2 of those are absolutely ridiculous shots. I'm not punishing them for winning close games, but I'm just keeping in mind that Butler is 2 ridiculous shots away from only having beaten Indiana, Marquette, Temple and UNC.
Back to Gonzaga... If the 1 and 2 seeds in the West Region are them and New Mexico then that region of the bracket could be a disaster to pick.

I think Gonzaga would have a chance, but my money would be on a healthy Duke on a neutral court. With Kelly back in the lineup, I think they are the team to beat.
I watch a lot of A10, and think my home team (VCU) can beat anyone when they're shooting well (which is not always the case). But Saint Louis looked crazy good against us and Butler, and is really hot right now. I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a deep run in the tournament.
